re: Unstable package list at ftp.debian.org is bad

[Todd Suess <tsuess@inspace.net>]

I fixed this problem by doing the apt-get update as normal, editing the 
offending file to
fix the optionnal lines, and then running dpkg --merge-avail <name of deb 
package file>
just don't redo apt-get update until the archive is fixed or you will have 
to perform the above
steps again.
